Oringen, man it hurts!!!

Well since my last post i have done two races both of which i died. First off we had a sprint which was held on the side of ski slope. From the start area we could see the finish area on the far below us. there were so many people watching was just crazy!!! the Woman started first and when i was waiting at the start line the last woman were coming in and the crowd was going NUTTS like could hear soooo much cheering and clapping. I was one of the early starters in the men and was standing at the startline and heard the annoucer say "Next to start is Bryn Davies all the way from New Zealand" So once i got my map and started to run was soooo worried about getting number one ok cos everybody below could see every move you made!!! Lucky for me i got it ok was a bit slow but main thing is i got it

This is the way we went to number One then across to 2 and so on

The rest of my run wasnt to bad made a few stupid little mistakes but just had no speed or anything!!! I think i might be getting sick or else i must still be tired from the races last weekend!!! Anyways finished quite a bit behind winners. I bet one New Zealander by 2 secs and Ross kicked our ass by 2min he was doing ok at the start had fastest time at the first radio control for a while but yeah he died at the end. Once i finish was flooded by little kids wanting autographs which was kinda cool but was bit to tired but did a few so that kept them happy!!

Today we had long and man was it long!!! We had 3km walk to start, then we had 15.6km with 770m climb. On the way to the 3rd control i was already shattered and was wondering if i was going to make it, well lucky for me i did make it but rather slowly was alot behind winner and 10min behind Ross. Not to sure why i cant run but hopefully tomorw will be sweet and i can have a fast run!! least we have less distance but still think its gonna be painful.
Ok all for now off to bed to rest up
